When the polls close and the ballot boxes are taken off to the count tonight (Thursday) it can be an anxious wait to find out who’s won.

But this year you can follow exactly what’s going on behind closed doors by using our website throughout election night.

Our reporter Kate Weir will be at the count at Dukinfield town hall and will announce the results as soon as they are called. There will also be regular updates with news, a commentary of the scene and hopefully some pictures from 10pm tonight.

The general election results for all three Tameside constituencies are expected to be called in the early hours of tomorrow (Friday), so whether you want to stay up all night to find out what colour government we have or if you want to catch up later, www.tamesideadvertiser.co.uk will give you all the information you need.

You can also follow what’s happening across the whole of Greater Manchester on the website of our sister paper, the Manchester Evening News at w ww.manchestereveningnews.co.uk .

Then, later on Friday we’ll be at the local election counts for Tameside Council. From 1pm, Kate will be joined by Sue Carr and Tom Rowley as they relay the results for your ward as they are revealed at the town halls in Hyde, Ashton and Dukinfield.
